Police: Stolen bong, Snapchat may have played role in young man's death

Court documents reveal that Naper told police a month ago her expensive bong, worth upwards of $400 was stolen, and that she and Scholze had been searching social media trying to figure out who took it.

Just hours before the deadly home invasion, police say the pair received a screenshot on Snapchat that appeared to show Naper's bong. Naper told police the two got in her car with two other men, but that she didn't know where they were going.

When they arrived at the scene, Naper told police she hid outside while the other three went in. Witnesses told police three males forced them to empty their wallets and took off with a Sony Playstation 4, games, controllers, phones, and glass bongs and pipes.

When the suspects went to leave, witnesses told police Scholze pulled out a gun. One witness said she ran after him, but Scholze shot at her so she took cover.

That's when police say the victim, Kyle Stauber ran out with a baseball bat and Scholze shot him.

When officers arrived on scene, they found Stauber on the ground and he identified his killer before passing away.

Authorities are still searching for the two other males. Scholze and Naper are both in the Allegheny County jail facing criminal homicide charges.
